Just had a re-read of this thread and made me even sadder looking back at what I had posted in 2011, 18 months on, I told my players last night that this season would be my last at the club. There has been an influx of players from the senior squads helping with the coaching and all of these...
I know its a bit off the original topic, but seeing at it has moved to schools cricket I would just like to put the counter argument - there is still plenty of cricket in schools, particularly considering disadvantage cricket has with the limited overlap of seasons and term times. The 'Chance...
We bought a pair for Ollie this time last season, just asked him if he uses them - 'sometimes' was the reply ;|
To be honest its a matter of choice and confidence, I know last year wasn't typical with lots of rain and slow, low wickets but I don't think Ollie got hit on the thigh enough to...
Stevey, not sure about iphones (might be the app?) but I am about to start the third year of using it with the juniors and haven't paid a penny. I think its free for the emails but texts are limited and it costs players (12p?) to reply via text. I am not on commission, but it is something that...
SteveyD, if you can get the blokes to sign up then I would highly recommend www.teamer.net
The only real problem is that whilst its great for managers/organisers it does rely on players saying yes/no, now I know that 'should' be easy but somehow in the real world it isn't. We have adopted it...
Dave, is there no one in the 4ths 'working their way down' so to speak? An older player who used to play at a higher standard who is now just looking for a game on a Saturday afternoon? Many of the 4ths/3rd teams I come up against have a number of this type of player (including many coaches)...
Bazza, the default for the UK is a BBC masterclass with Paul Collingwood, but not sure if you would be able to open it, so try this good stuff and helpful advice on technique for power as well as accuracy. Best of luck
Roughly the same age, but obviously nothing anywhere near as trumatic as Joe. Oli's injury was bad for him at the time (no PE for 3 months having just started high school) but he had a clear target - to be back bowling by Easter which was about 4 months from when he first met the physio. The...
Thanks for the update, good news re Joe, although I remain to be convinced that crutches are a 'babe magnet'. Wouldnt be too worried about Joe adding a few pounds, he will soon knock that off with a summer in the paddock. At least with the 'not until Christmas' message Joe (and the rest of...
Interesting option Dave. I have a lad in our under 13s who does just what that girl did, virtually all top spinners but very acurate (for youth cricket) and finished the season with 16.5-0-49-5, generally as our first change bowler and I would guess at least 20 of those runs were where he tried...
